Media Kit

The AGA works hard to promote awareness of go, publishing The American Go E-Journal, encouraging national media to cover events and supporting coverage of regional go events in newspapers and on television. If you are a member of the news media and want to know more about the AGA, please write to president@usgo.org.

AGA Publications

While the commentary and guidance all over this website are a product of
many volunteers' efforts on behalf of the AGA, there are a few
publications created or facilitated by the AGA that are of particular
interest, uniqueness, or authority.

The AGA Rules of
Go: The official
American Go Association rules, designed to ensure a definitive
result among any two players under any conditions. A concise
version of the AGA
rules is also available.

The Way to Go: Karl Baker's
classic instruction manual is available for free download.

The American Go Journal: The
AGJ, published from 1949 to 2003, was the oldest English-language go
periodical going when it ceased publication in 2003. Back issues
contain a wealth of articles and information you can't get anywhere
else.

And publications that the AGA facilitated through other organizations:

How to Play Against the Stronger Player Volumes 1 and 2: This
popular Japanese "Super Go" series helps players to improve their
handicap go. Translated and produced by Steve Bretherick and John
Stephenson of the Wings Go Club, Volume
1 and Volume
2 are now
available for download in English at no charge. The AGA is grateful
to the Japan Go Association for making this possible.

Go on Go:
The legendary Go Seigen offers detailed analysis of some of his
famous games, and other historical matchups. This book was made
available for download by the Wings Go Club. The AGA is grateful to
the Japan Go Association for making this possible.
